Different strokes for different folks. <br /><br />Not everyone uses LinkedIn for the purpose you presume. Having a picture of a car means that in his own time, that guy probably likes cars. That's it. That has no bearing on what he is like as a person, how hard he works or how professional he is - he just probably likes cars. <br /><br />As for the previous post on LinkedIn pictures - again, it is no business of yours how people want to portray themselves and their photos have no bearing on the quality of work/recruitment they can produce. If you don't want to engage with people on the basis of a photo they like then I think that says more about you than them. Remember, an image you find provocative does not necessarily mean that the rest of the world does.<br /><br />They are only pictures. Lord of The Rings have had a lot of terrible covers but they're still great books. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
